Asia-Pacific, News Comments Off on China and Japan planning to resume security talks in April

According to diplomatic sources, China and Japan plan to hold in Tokyo as soon as April the first bilateral security talks in four years between their foreign and defense ministries.

Japan is expected to use the occasion to explain its plans to enact legislation to put into effect last July’s Cabinet decision to reinterpret the Constitution to allow the country to exercise the right to collective self-defense.

Japan is also likely to ask China to make its military spending more transparent and explain the reasons behind its military expansion, the sources said.
